AIM: To investigate the functions of GR in the course of hepatic secondary injury after severe multiple injury. METHODS: Rat model was produced by adopting severe thoracic impact injury accompanied with mono-side femur fracture, and glucocorticoid receptor was blocked before severe multiple injury. Hepatic macropathology and alterations under light microscope were examined. Maximal binding volume of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in hepatic tissue was assayed by radio-ligand binding assay and protein content was assayed by Western blot. RESULTS: Maximal binding volume and protein content of GR were gradually decreased in hepatic tissue after severe multiple injury, obviously lower than that in normal control at 4 h after trauma ( P

Objective To study the effects of the inhibition of nuclear factor kappa-B ( NF-κB) , on the hepatic heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) expression as well as on the changes of hepatic function and ultrastructure in a rodent model of hemonhageic shock. Method Hemorrhagic shock was produced by inducing bilateral femoral fractures in male Wistar rats. Intraperitoneal injection of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate(PDTC)was used to inhibit NF-κB activation 1 hour before induction of shock. A total of 66 adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (Control, n = 6), trauma shock (TS, n = 30), and NF-κB inhibition followed by trauma shock (NF-κB inhibition, n =30). Measurements of hepatic NF-KB and HSP70, hepatic function bio-markers, TNF-α and IL-6 were obtained 0.5, 2, 4, 6, 8 hours after trauma. Histopathological changes in liver tissues were also noted. Hepatic expression of NF-κB was determined by using electrophoretic mobility shift assay, while HSP70 was assayed by western blot and analyzed with computer imaging. Results In rats with trauma shock, both hepatic NF-κB activity and HSP70 expression increased significantly compared to the control group, reaching peaks at 6 hour post injury. Serum alanine transferase (ALT) and total bilirubin (TB) also rose significantly,reaching peaks at 8 hours post trauma. Light microscopy revealed hepatic congestion with infiltration of inflammatory cells into hepatic sinusoid in the TS group at 8 hours. Inhibiting the activity of NF-κB one hour before trauma significantly decreased expression of HSP70 at 6 hours post trauma [16.9±4.4 (NF-κB inhibition) vs. 23.0±1.7 (TS), P ＜ 0.05]. In addition,levels TNF-α and IL-6 in the liver tissue also decreased, and hepatic congestion as well as hepatic cell degeneration were ameliorated, showing minimal inflammatory infiltrates in the hepatic sinusoids. NF-κB inhibition also significantly lowered the levels of ALT and TB at 4 hours post trauma [ALT, 540.8 ±66.2 nmol/L (NF-KB inhibition) vs. 640.6±80.2 nmol/L (TS), P ＜ 0.05; TB,2.3±0.3 mol/L (NF-κB inhibition) vs. 4.7 ±1.1 mol/L (TS), P ＜ 0.05]. Conclusions NF-κB and HSP70 are involved in the pathogenesis of hepatic injury during hemorrhagic shock, and the degree of NF-κB activity and HSP70 expression may be consistent with the extent of hepatocellular damage. Inhibition of NF-κB helps ameliorate liver injury due to trauma shock.

Objective:To evaluate the curative effect of Fumai Zhuyu Decoction on deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after orthopedic surgery.Methods:According to random method, 90 patients with DVT after orthopedic surgery who met inclusion criteria in the hospital were divided into two groups between January 2018 and December 2020, 45 cases in each group. Both groups were given DVT catheterization for thrombolysis. After that, control group was given subcutaneous injection of low molecular weight heparin calcium, while observation group was additionally treated with Fumai Zhuyu Decoction. All were continuously treated for 14d. Before and after treatment, scores of TCM syndromes were evaluated. The coagulation response time (R), clotting time (K), clotting angle (α) and maximum strength of blood clotting (MA) were detected by full-automatic thromboelastometry analyzer. The levels of serum IL-6 and CRP were detected by ELISA. The hematocrit (Hct) was calculated according to red cell casts and whole blood height. The adverse reactions were recorded. And the clinical curative effect was evaluated.Results:The differences in total response rate between observation group and control group were statistically significant [82.2% (37/45) vs. 62.2% (38/45); χ2=4.49, P=0.034]. After treatment, scores of affected limb pain, dark encrusted skin and affected limb swelling in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group ( t values were 7.26, 7.14, 6.88, respectively, all Ps<0.001). After treatment, R [(6.12±0.86) min vs. (5.45±0.56) min, t=3.58] and K [(2.24±0.45) min vs. (1.72±0.42) min, t=4.63] in observation group were significantly longer than those in control group ( P<0.01), α [(51.69±2.23)° vs. (54.23±2.42)°, t=4.23] and MA [(51.58±3.62) min vs. (54.58±3.53) min, t=3.25] were significantly lower than those in control group ( P<0.01), and levels of serum IL-6, CRP and Hct were significantly lower than those in control group ( t values were 2.66, 2.96, 7.58, respectively, all Ps<0.01). During treatment, differences in incidence of adverse reactions between observation group and control group were statistically significant [6.7% (3/45) vs. 22.2% (10/45); χ2=4.41, P=0.036]. Conclusion:The Fumai Zhuyu Decoction can reduce blood viscosity, prevent thrombosis and improve clinical curative effect in patients with DVT after orthopedic surgery.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the plasma levels of coagulation factor VII (FVII) and polymorphisms of FVII gene in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), and evaluate the effect of plasma FVII levels and FVII gene polymorphisms on CHD.

METHODSPlasma FVIIa, FVII: Ag and FVIIc were measured and polymorphisms of FVII gene were analyzed in 149 control cases and 60 CHD cases, including 33 acute myocardial infarction (AMI) cases by a combination of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and agarose gel electrophoresis.

RESULTSFVIIa, FVIIc in AMI group were significantly higher than that in control group, but FVII: Ag wasn't. There were no significant difference in plasma FVIIa, FVII: Ag and FVIIc between CHD and control group. The IVS7 genotypic frequency in AMI group was significantly different from that in control group. There was no significant difference in genotypic frequencies and allelic frequencies in other polymphism sites. FVII: Ag was significantly higher in -402A homozygote than that in -402G homozygote.

CONCLUSIONSIncreased FVII levels, especially FVIIa and FVIIc in plasma, may contribute to coronary artery thrombosis. There was significant difference in IVS7 genotype frequency between control and AMI groups, but the rest weren't significantly different. FVII: Ag was significantly higher in -402A homozygote than that in -402G homozygote. Polymorphism of -402 G/A may play an indirect role in AMI by regulating plasma FVII levels.
